Sign of the times?

2:05pm Tuesday 27th July 2010

Thanks to the £8,000 signs on the bypass (Tivyside July 13th) we now know where our local cops have disappeared to. The old town centre Police Station existed for over 100 years without directional signs. Surely in this time of recession it is time for those who hold the public purse to stop wasting hard earned taxpayers money in this way.

Deaf ear to warnings

4:26pm Thursday 15th July 2010

It is bad enough that local politicians would try and ruin the business of a Welsh citizen like Mr Lyn Jenkins of Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, Gwbert, Cardigan, because he has exercised his right to be critical about government policy - in this case the destruction of the charming Welsh countryside with wind farms. But it is downright criminal to over-ride considerations of public safety when planning a free public path through his coastal farm park, in spite of crumbling cliffs that are a menace to any walker, especially children. A professional geologist has classified the public risk as 25 , which is the highest possible ranking on the scale.The geologist states that even a Risk Rating of 10 would require urgent action.

Objection to Tesco expansion

This is a transcript of my letter of objection to the proposed Tesco Expansion planning application Re. Planning Application Tesco Expansion, Cardigan I would like to register my objection to the above planning application on the grounds that it will, in my opinion, add to the decline already seen in the retail trade in the area, by what I feel to be unfairly competing for custom, in markets currently filled by local business and I think, will see the death knell of the Cardigan and surrounding business community.

Senseless massacre

11:00am Monday 24th May 2010

I am deeply disappointed and shocked that despite widespread public moral outrage, which prompted a Judicial Review into its legitimacy, the proposed badger ‘cull’ of thousand of innocent and beautiful animals, is due to go ahead in Pembrokeshire, any moment now.
